Planning application

33 Malvern Court Reading RG1 5PL

Granted Reading 191714 Consent under Tree Preservation Orders

Works: Trees

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

The tree in question is covered by Tree Preservation Order 34/001Org no D1738a dated December 2001. It is identified by the reference T13 and is sited on the front garden of 33 Malvern Court. It's an Acer saccharinum. We would like to remove the dead wood and cross branches, and raise the crown to 3m. We think this would improve the health and appearance of the tree. We have consulted a local firm of tree surgeons, Arborfield Tree Care on an appropriate plan and we would ask them to undertake this work, if given approval to proceed.

What a grant of permission means

The process from here

Permission has been granted, usually subject to conditions listed on the decision notice, some of which must be discharged before work starts. The decision notice on the council portal sets out exactly what was approved.

Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses. Neighbours cannot appeal a grant; challenging one means judicial review of how the decision was made, within tight time limits.

About trees applications

How this application type works

Tree applications cover work to protected trees: those under a tree preservation order need consent for pruning or felling, and trees in a conservation area need six weeks written notice before work starts. The council assesses the amenity value of the tree and can refuse consent, approve it with conditions, or in conservation areas make a preservation order in response.
